Jennifer Aniston rakes in good friend points by hosting a dinner at her home for celebrity guests Courteney Cox and Jennifer Meyer (wife of Tobey Maguire).

The star invited O Magazine to stop by and take a peek as she hosted an evening dinner at what Jen calls "the best restaurant in town" (aka her home).

The star admitted to the magazine that once upon a time her kitchen was merely a storage place for PowerBars and pre-packaged Zone meals. It wasn't until after she hired two private chefs, sisters Jewels and Jill Elmore, to be at her beck and call that she went beyond eating food in a wrapper.

Now it's fish, brussel sprouts and good eats for the former Friends star. Chef Jewels Ermore told O Magazine, "People used to always ask us, 'What does Jen eat?' We'd reply: 'Healthy, clean food...like we do!"

The star chose a menu of healthy, Mexican cuisine for her dinner party including guacamole, tostadas, chili-rubbed chicken and mashed yams. No chips and salsa for Jen's fit shape, but that doesn't mean bland meals. Thanks to Jen's two chefs, she can stay busy staying in shape and enjoying healthy home cooking.

“Cooking is such an intimate thing to do for someone," Jen's chef Jewels says. "When you know the people you’re cooking for, you can see when they need a boost. There are days when Jen is so busy, she’ll put herself on the back burner. I can help her take care of herself,” says Jewels.
